Description: The Avifors Spell is a transfiguration spell that transforms small objects and creatures into birds.

The spell is viewed as a jinx when used to transform certain creatures into birds.

The Avifors Spell can, at times, be a very complicated spell and some beginning Hogwarts students were known to struggle with it. One student nearly failed the class when he proved unable to transform objects into anything more than eggs. His cousin bragged about this.

This spell can also transform certain creatures into birds, like Dugbogs or Blast-Ended Skrewts.

It is taught in first year Transfiguration and revised in second year. It is published in The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 2.
